The 229-metre-long and 12.5-metre-draft ship came from Indonesia. This is the 116th ship berthed at the seaport.

Earlier, MV Navios Amber berthed at Matarbari on June 23. Besides, two ships — MV GCL Paradip carrying 64,770 MT coal and MV Owusu Maru — berthed at the Matarbari Deep Sea Port on April 26.

Secretary of Chittagong Port Authority (CPA) Omar Faruk said, “The Matarbari jetty of Deep Sea Port of CPA has handled 116 ships so far. The ships loaded with project cargoes and coal used to berth at the deep sea port of CPA. We have successfully handled all ships.”

He also said, “Deep sea port of CPA will be the regional business hub after completion of its construction. We can handle the mother vessels at the deep seaport terminals at Matarbari. More large vessels will be berthed here. As a result, it will be an important regional hub of export and import for the neighbouring countries.”
